Research and Planning 'College Magazine Analysis'

I believe this magazine is a real college magazine mainly because of the masthead as it says 'College' as a title, also because of the publication line not all magazines have them especially not fake magazines.
There is also the bar code meaning it is being sold meaning it is a real publication because you could not sell a fake publication, also the person looks like a model aimed at the American college ages of 18-21. Finally i believe the headlines/cover lines tell you alot such as money, phones and the title 'thank god its Friday' because at the end of the week everyone gets a feeling of relief.
